Description

DEAP-3600 is a liquid argon dark matter experiment at SNOLAB. Meeting the physics goals and background levels required for this rare event search the detector target must be cleaned both chemically and radiologically. The system for handling all argon gas must also not impart any more than 5 $\mu Bq$ Radon emanation into the target. I will present achieving our goals and the technology of the DEAP process systems
